The GLE is a mid-sized luxury SUV that competes with vehicles such as the BMW X5 and the Audi Q7. Starting at around $52,000, the GLE comes in a variety of different flavors, offering everything from a relatively fuel efficient diesel to a 500-plus-horsepower performance machine. Quality lives up to the usual Mercedes high standards, with doors that close with a satisfying clunk and a general feeling of vault-like security. It all goes towards giving the GLE the luxurious look and feel that Mercedes is renowned for.
